Ávila
Recommended
On the Unesco World Heritage List, Ávila owes its fame in particular to the superb 11C ramparts encircling the city. Built on the banks of the Adaja, it is Spain's highest provincial capital at an altitude of 1,131m on the plateau of Meseta. Historic and austerely beautiful, it is home to countless granite churches and monasteries of priceless value.
